上帝的同工

¹弟兄们，我从前对你们说话，还不能把你们当作属灵的，只能把你们当作属肉体的，你们在基督里仅是婴孩。 ²我用奶喂你们，没有用饭喂你们，因为那时你们不能吃。就是如今还是不能， ³因为你们仍是属肉体的。你们中间有嫉妒、纷争，这岂不是属乎肉体，照着世人的样子生活吗？ ⁴有人说：“我是属保罗的”；有人说：“我是属亚波罗的”；这样你们岂不是和世人一样吗？ ⁵亚波罗算什么？保罗算什么？我们都是上帝的执事，藉着我们，你们信了；这不过是照着主给各人的恩赐去做罢了。 ⁶我栽种了，亚波罗浇灌了，惟有上帝使它生长。 ⁷可见，栽种的算不了什么，浇灌的也算不了什么；惟有上帝能使它生长。 ⁸栽种的和浇灌的都是一样，但将来各人要照自己的劳苦得到自己的报酬。 ⁹因为我们是上帝的同工，而你们是上帝的田地，上帝的房屋。
¹⁰我照上帝所给我的恩典，好像一个聪明的工头，立好了根基，别人在上面建造；只是各人要谨慎怎样在上面建造。 ¹¹因为，那已经立好的根基就是耶稣基督，此外没有人能立别的根基。 ¹²若有人用金银、宝石，草木、禾秸，在这根基上建造， ¹³各人的工程必将显露，因为那日子要将它显明，有火把它暴露出来，这火要试炼各人的工程怎样。 ¹⁴人在那根基上所建造的工程若能保得住，他将要得赏赐。 ¹⁵人的工程若被烧了，他将损失，虽然他自己将得救，却要像从火里经过一样。
¹⁶难道不知你们是上帝的殿，上帝的灵住在你们里面吗？ ¹⁷若有人毁坏上帝的殿，上帝一定要毁灭那人；因为上帝的殿是神圣的，这殿就是你们。
¹⁸谁都不可自欺。你们中间若有人自以为在今世有智慧，倒不如变为愚拙，好成为有智慧的。 ¹⁹因为这世界的智慧在上帝看来是愚拙的。如经上记着：
“主使有智慧的人中了自己的诡计；”
²⁰又说：
“主知道智慧人的意念，
因为它们是虚妄的。”
²¹所以，无论谁都不可夸耀人；因为万有都是你们的， ²²或保罗，或亚波罗，或矶法，或世界，或生，或死，或现今的事，或将来的事，全是你们的， ²³而你们是属基督的，基督是属上帝的。

Sectarianism Is Carnal

¹And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to ⚓babes in Christ. ²I fed you with ⚓milk and not with solid food; ⚓for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; ³for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? ⁴For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

Watering, Working, Warning

⁵Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ⚓ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? ⁶⚓I planted, ⚓Apollos watered, ⚓but God gave the increase. ⁷So then ⚓neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. ⁸Now he who plants and he who waters are one, ⚓and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
⁹For ⚓we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are⚓God’s building. ¹⁰⚓According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid ⚓the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. ¹¹For no other foundation can anyone lay than ⚓that which is laid, ⚓which is Jesus Christ. ¹²Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³each one’s work will become clear; for the Day ⚓will declare it, because ⚓it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. ¹⁴If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
¹⁶⚓Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ¹⁷If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Avoid Worldly Wisdom

¹⁸⚓Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, ⚓“He catches the wise in their own craftiness”; ²⁰and again, ⚓“The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.” ²¹Therefore let no one boast in men. For ⚓all things are yours: ²²whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. ²³And ⚓you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.
